: I trim a Horse that has very bad thrush. We've tried many differant product's but nothing seem's to work. I'v tried bleach, Thrush buster,koppertox ect. Now i'm thinking of useing sole pack with a pad to treat it. Is this a good product to use for it. Any suggestions? I'm out of idea's. Thank's!
How bad and how deep is the thrush? Can you provide pictures of the feet? The sole pack idea works well with leather pads (leather breaths, plastic is not good). If it is real bad you may want to reshoe/repack the feet every 3 to 4 weeks until things get better and then have the horse owner clean the feet and apply peroxide daily to prevent a reacurrence. If it is real bad and deep you may want to reccomend that a vet takes a look at it. Bad infections may require antibiotics and treating the thrush as I mentioned. Hope this helps.
